In a crazy fight, Paulo Costa scored an unanimous decision win over Yoel Romero at UFC 241. On Twitter, pro fighters praised both men.
Just as expected, the long awaited battle between Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa delivered everything fans wanted and some more. After three back-and-forth rounds, it was ‘Borrachinha’ who emerged victorious at UFC 241, though, with an unanimous decision in Anaheim, California. On Twitter, however, pro fighters praised both men.
These two guys need to get in better shape.

Pressure is relentless— Krzysztof Soszynski (@KSOSufc) August 18, 2019
Smart takedown at the end by Romero, Costa is fading…I think he could finish him this round.
— Gerald Harris (@GHurricane) August 18, 2019
Had this round for Yoel
— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) August 18, 2019
That takedown needed to come way sooner , use that wrestling tire costa out man , he’s breathing heavy slowing down Yoel should utilize the wrestling more to break him

It came down to round two and Yoel didn’t pull ahead until the last minute or two of the round tough call not a robbery either way at all
